How many and who is running in the 2008 presidential campaign?

Question

Just wanted to know, to make sure, absolutely who Im voting for!

xD So please answer ASAP!

Answer 1

Please vote for Dennis Kucinich.

Democrats

Dennis Kucinich

John Edwards

Barack Obama

Hillary Clinton

Joe Biden

Republicans

Mitt Romney (yuck, did a terrible job as MA governor)

Rudy Giuliani

Ron Paul (seems ok)

I can't remember the others.

Answer 2

You'll know after the parties announce their nominees for the office. If you belong to one of the parties, you may be able to vote for a particular candidate who wants to be the nominee. If you don't know who is trying to gain your party's nomination, why do you care who is running? Better yet, what registrar of voters do I blame for letting you into a voting booth in the first place?

Answer 3

alot all i know is that every time I see one of the parties the stage is full from one side to the other,Wow I have never seen so many

Answer 4

Right now, we are at the "primary" phase of the contest where people vote for Republican and Democrat nominees. (Yes there are Independents and Minor Parties, but the reality is their road is quite difficult)

Republicans:

Former NYC Mayor Rudy Guliani

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee

US Congressman (TX) Ron Paul (* He ran as a Libertarian for President in 1988)

US Congressman (CA) Duncan Hunter

US Congressman (CO) Tom Tancredo

US Senator (AZ) John McCain

US Senator (KS) Sam Brownbeck

Illinous Businessman John Cox

Undeclared, but possible Republican Nominee:

Former US Senator (TN) Fred Thompson

Democrats:

US Senator (NY) Hillary Clinton

US Senator (IL) Barack Obama

Former US Senator (NC) John Edwards

US Congressman (OH) Dennis Kucinich

US Senator (CT) Chris Dodd

US Senator (DE) Joseph Biden

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson

Former Senator (AK) Mike Gravel

Possible (but unlikely) entrant on Democrat side:

Former Vice President Al Gore

Possible Independent Candidate:

Current NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Possible Independent or Green Candidate:

Activist Ralph Nader (Ran in '04)

The Green Party and Libertarian Parties nominate at Conventions and do not (to my knowledge) engage in primaries.

Not every state will have the Green or Libertarian candidate on the ballot in November 2008 as singatures are required in most states for so-called "3rd parties" to gain access.

I hope this has been helpful. I live in New Hampshire, where we live and breathe this stuff, being the 1st in the nation primary state, and I will do all in my power to keep it that way!
